November 9th, 1882

Surprisingly I am writing today.

I made it past town without being seen, I just went out around far enough for no one to see me. 

I have walked all night about 10 miles north. I am truly in the middle of the woods.

I should be sleeping but I needed to write to calm my nerves.

I am scared, I cannot lie. I do not know exactly what I am doing besides walking. I am thinking about walking another 20 miles north tonight, hopefully, end up near a river or at least a few miles close by so it is accessible before I start thinking about building or settling.

My goal isn't to continue travel, my goal is to find a place safe enough to live. Where hopefully no one that actually knows me will find me. 

I know what you are thinking, what about marriage and children. I am not seeking it, if it comes naturally I will be happy... A woman is more than a wife and mother. 

I am going to get a few hours of rest and continue my travels afterward.
